How Can a San Antonio Personal Injury Attorney Help?

Having an experienced personal injury lawyer on your side ensures that someone who knows Texas law is handling your case. At Loncar Lyon Jenkins, our legal team will protect your rights and look out for your interests. As you recover from a severe injury, you may worry about missing work, medical bills, and day-to-day costs that keep adding up.

We Can Start on Your Case for Free

Our San Antonio personal injury attorney works on contingency, meaning you won’t have to pay us any costs or fees as we manage your case. We get paid only if you recover financial awards and recover an agreed-upon portion of the settlement. We offer this payment arrangement to ease any financial concerns you may have while your case is underway.

We Will Can Represent You in Talks With an Insurance Company

Many insurance companies will try to take advantage of injury victims by offering a low settlement at the outset. Such settlement offers often cover only a portion of the medical bills, with no consideration for lost income, therapy, pain and suffering, and other losses associated with your injury.

Without an attorney familiar with these tactics, you may end up with a settlement that does not meet your needs. Also, once you accept a settlement, you cannot pursue any additional damages associated with that accident.

A personal injury attorney from Loncar Lyon Jenkins can prevent the insurance company from taking advantage of your stressful situation. Let us handle the negotiations and legalities, so you can focus on getting well.

Proving Negligence Is Key to Many Personal Injury Cases

Most personal injury cases require us to establish the negligence of the other party. Some nuances depend on that case– for example, manufacturers are often held strictly liable for harm from dangerous or defective products.

We know that most injury victims are unfamiliar with the complexities of proving liability in personal injury cases, but establishing negligence is central to your claim. We encourage people who are hurt in accidents to let our firm take on this and other tasks so you do not jeopardize your chances of recovery. Our lawyers must prove four key elements:

  • Duty of Care: We must demonstrate that the defendant owed you a duty of care. This means they have a responsibility to act in a manner that prevents harm to others.
  • Breach of Duty: Next, we’ll show that the defendant breached this duty through action or inaction, acting in a way that a reasonably prudent person would not have under similar circumstances.
  • Causation: It’s crucial to link the breach of duty directly to your injuries. We’ll prove that the defendant’s actions (or lack thereof) were the direct cause of your harm.
  • Damages: Finally, we will quantify the damages you suffered as a result of this negligence. This includes medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.

Proving these elements requires a strategic and evidence-driven approach. Our team is committed to building your case, leveraging our expertise to ensure that justice is served and that you receive the compensation you deserve.

What Laws Can Affect My San Antonio Personal Injury Case?

When it comes to personal injury claims and lawsuits, there are some laws that factor into your case. Here are some key considerations for cases:

Statute Of Limitations

Texas sets a strict deadline for filing personal injury lawsuits – you have two years from the date of the injury to take legal action, per Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003. Missing this window typically means you lose your right to sue, so it’s important to speak to a lawyer as soon as possible.

There are some scenarios where this deadline may be paused or extended, but this is not guaranteed.

Proportionate Responsibility Law

Texas sets a strict deadline for filing personal injury lawsuits – you have two years from the date of the injury to take legal action, per Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003. Missing this window typically means you lose your right to sue, so it’s important to speak to a lawyer as soon as possible.

There are some scenarios where this deadline may be paused or extended, but this is not guaranteed.

Insurance companies will try to blame you for the accident and say you are more at fault than you truly are, so we encourage you to reach out to Loncar Lyon Jenkins to fight back against these insurance tactics.

Damage Caps

In some cases, Texas law imposes caps on the amount of damages you can recover. For example, non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases are capped. However, most personal injury cases, including those involving car accidents or slip and falls, do not have such caps.

Navigating these Texas laws can be complex, but our personal injury attorneys are equipped to guide you through every step, ensuring your case is handled effectively within these legal frameworks to achieve the best possible outcome.
